Rural Forces in Senate Vote Election of School Head
The Iowa legislature scene highlights a narrow vote to place the superintendent of public instruction on the partisan election ballot. The House backed a public utilities bill 101 to 6 after Senate reconsideration failed 78 to 10. Rural dissatisfaction drove the four year term ballot measure while the governor’s interim appointments bill drew backing from the Senate committee. The House set a TBA tax debate as the omnibus bill moves forward, and other actions include bonding street work, brucellosis control, and road use fund flexibility for cities.
